2 Getting Started
This chapter contains information about how to get acquainted with the iMX RT1166 Developer's Kit.
Please read this chapter first before you start using the board - it will be well spent time!
First of all, thank you for buying Embedded Artists’ iMX RT1166 Developer’s Kit based on NXP’s ARM
Cortex-M7/M4 i.MX RT1166 Crossover MCU. You will get up-and-running quickly!
Section 2.1 contains a list of what is included in the iMX RT1166 Developer's Kit.
Section 2.2 together with Figure 17 in chapter 3 gives an overview presentation of the
hardware and the interfaces and connectors available.
Section 2.3 describes how to mount the display.
Section 2.4 describes how to connect the USB cable, install the UART-to-USB driver and
power-up the board the first time.
Section 2.5 presents an alternative powering solution via the USB console interfaces.
Section 2.6 - 2.10 describes important handling and care issues.
Chapter 3 presents the uCOM Carrier Board and where to find more information about the
hardware design of it.
To get started with program development and program download/flashing, see document iMX RT
Developer's Kit Program Development Guide.
2.1 iMX RT1166 Developer's Kit Content
One iMX RT1166 uCOM board mounted on one uCOM Carrier board, see Figure 1 below.
One 100/10Mbps Ethernet adapter
One MIPI-to-HDMI adapter
One 40 pos, 0.5 mm pitch, 50 mm long flat cable
One 4.3 inch 480x272px LCD with capacitive touch panel, including mounting kit
One 12V supply
One micro-B to A USB cable
One MCU-Link debug interface
For program development you can optionally use another debug probe (than MCU-Link), like MCU-
Link Pro, ULINK, J-LINK or LPC-Link2, and a program development environment, like MCUXpresso,
Keil uVision or IAR Embedded Workbench. For more information about program development, see
document iMX RT Developer's Kit Program Development Guide.

2.2 Hardware Overview
Figure 1 below illustrates the top side of the uCOM Carrier board. Some key components, relevant to
get started, have been marked in the picture.
Figure 1 –iMX RT1166 Developer's Kit
1. ON/OFF switch (instead of having to plug in/out the 12V power supply barrel connector).
2. 12V power supply input, 12V/2-3A DC, via a 2.1mm power jack. The center position is the
positive terminal.
3. USB OTG connector - this USB interface can, together with a PC application, be used to
program the flash memory of the iMX RT1166 uCOM board.
4. UART-to-USB bridge - this gives access to the console UART for the Cortex-M7 core of the
i.MX RT1166 MCU.
5. ISP Enable push-button (and jumper, left of button) - pressing this button (or shorting jumper)
while the board power up will place the i.MX RT1166 is ISP mode (typically used for
programming the iMX RT1166 uCOM board flash memory).
6. Reset push-button - a press will generate a power cycle (in default behavior).
7. Mounting holes for the display.
8. Second UART-to-USB bridge - this gives access to the console UART for the Cortex-M4 of
the i.MX RT1166 MCU.

Figure 17 in chapter 3 gives a slightly more detailed presentation of all interfaces and connectors on
the board.
2.3 Mounting the LCD
If you are going to work with a display application and use the parallel RGB interface, when continue
with mounting the LCD. Follow the instructions in this section of the document.
If you are going to work with the second Ethernet interface (via the Ethernet Adapter), then do not
mount the LCD.
Begin with mounting the two 3D-printed display mounts. Each of them have two M3 screws. Remove
the screws from the mounts. Place the mounts as illustrated in the picture below.

Use the screws to fasten the mounts form the bottom side, as illustrated in the picture below. Do not
tighten the screws too much.
Figure 3 –Screws for LCD Mounts on Bottom Side of uCOM Carrier Board
Next, place the LCD behind the mounts, as illustrated in the picture below. This position makes it
easier to connect the two flat cables to the LCD. Make sure the locks on the flat cable connector on the
uCOM Carrier Board are open before inserting the two flat cables from the LCD.

Remove the protection over the four double-sided tapes and carefully place the LCD in the mounts.
Figure 5 –Placing LCD on Mounts
The picture illustrates how it will look like from the side. Between the mounts and the LCD, there isthe
double-sided tape.

Make sure the flat cable for the capacitive touch panel is carefully bent over the mounts.
Figure 7 –Side View of LCD Mount
In the end, it will look like the picture below illustrates.
Figure 8 –LCD Mounted on uCOM Carrier Board
Flat cable shall be bend carefully over
the mount. It shall not be stuck or
jammed in-between the mount and LCD.
